9,816 births in May

Statbel publishes today the provisional monthly results of the statistics on births.

The first provisional figures show that in May 2022, 9,816 babies were born in Belgium: 5,509 in Flanders, 3,087 in Wallonia and 1,220 in the Brussels-Capital Region.

These results were calculated based on Demobel, Statbel’s demographic database (source: National Register). As these figures are provisional, it is not yet possible to draw any clear conclusions, either on a monthly or on an annual basis. This will have to wait until the final publication of the population figures on 1 January 2023 mid-2023.
